Main Article Content
Abstract
The research was carried out in the garden intensive "UBPC El Vivero" with the object to select from the study of three varieties of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) that better behavior in soil and climatic conditions of the site. Documentary analysis was conducted to collect data relating to the soil and climatic conditions. Design an experiment in a randomized complete block design with three treatments and four replicates were mounted. Treatments consisted of three varieties evaluated at which measurements were performed at 25, 35, 45 and 55 days after sowing. The evaluated variables were related to the processes of germination, growth and development. The data were processed in the ANOVA statistical package and means were compared by Duncan test for a 5% confidence also was assessed the economic feasibility. The results obtained allow to state that the conditions of soil and climate in the area are suitable for cucumber production, provided they have a system that allows irrigation supply water volumes required by the crop. From the point of view of the germination, growth and development the variety Puerto Padre was the best performing according to soil and climatic conditions of the place. With the inclusion of that variety in the production chain of intensive orchard economic performance will be favored by obtaining profits that exceed $ 6,000.00.
